(From Canberra Times)
With good tides, plenty of fish reports and the promise of good weather, Easter is looking to be one of the more outstanding fishing opportunities for the year. It's only a week away.
Two of us fished along the south coast for five days last week, scoring 19 different species on lure and bait.
The estuaries yielded good- sized flathead, bream, tailor, trevally, garfish, blackfish and lots of yellow-eye mullet.
Beaches were good for salmon and tailor, especially on 40g and 65g Raiders during the day and bait after dark.
Just offshore there were more salmon to around 3.5kg, tailor, frigate mackerel and slimy mackerel.
Bottom bouncers had problems with hordes of green toads but there were untold numbers of leatherjackets to provide a feed. It was necessary to fish wide offshore, sometimes in 65 to 70 fathoms, in order to escape the toad pests and have a chance of snapper and morwong.
